I’ll start it off:

  • Windows is a perfectly fine OS, as long as you use Enterprise or Server (Home and Pro are crap)
  • Self driving cars are the future since the US won’t fully embrace mass transit

And the list goes on.

Yes, he's had a few duff ideas. But then the rest of your own comment is a list of things he made good decisions on, which have vastly outperformed the bad decisions.

Also NASA couldn't do what SpaceX rockets do, and Starlink has full regulatory approval for what they're doing.

    For the sake of it: would you mind listing the top 3 high level engineering decisions he made that are particularly original and turned out to be game changing in a positive way? Maybe I just haven’t heard of them.

    Full flow methalox for the new Raptor engines, stainless steel for the rocket body, the whole focus on full reuse (just the first stage for Falcon 9 but driving to the full stack in Starship). These are all basic things that nobody was doing before and now are being hurriedly copied as fast as can be done by competitors.

    I'm most familiar with his SpaceX work, mind you, so there may be comparable decisions over at Tesla that are part of what put electric cars into the mainstream that I'm not familiar with off the top of my head.
